Chapter 240: An Huaman

Although Meng Hanyang saw that his hands were shaking, and there was spilled tea as evidence. It stands to reason that Mu Chang should be ashamed and angry at this moment.

It's just that the others didn't see a trace of shame and anger on Mu Chang's face, not even a similar expression. As for whether Mu Chang has any shame and anger in his heart, it is unknown. But at least on the surface, Mu Chang was very calm at the moment, and said calmly: "What Meng Thorn Shi said is not wrong, this military division is indeed afraid!" ”

Feng Changqi was taken aback when he heard this, looked at Mu Chang sideways in disbelief, and said in his heart: "Military advisor! Strategist! Why are you stupid today? Could it be that this is not you standing in front of me, but your brother?

The assassins of the other states all looked at Mu Chang one by one, whispering to people they knew, both surprised and a little disdainful that was difficult to hide.

Meng Hanyang laughed and said, "Look? It's not the official's words! ”

Mu Chang sneered and said, "This military division is afraid!" But what are you afraid of? It's not that I'm afraid of King Wei, and I'm not afraid of Song Jun! I'm afraid of you! Especially your history of assassination! All day long, I just think about calculating my kindred! ”

Meng Hanyang's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face turned cloudy and cloudy, and he said in an unkind tone: "What did Mu Junshi mean by what he said just now?" ”

Mu Chang said angrily: "What do you mean? Meng Thorn Shi is embarrassed to say it! Just a battalion of soldiers and horses, a prince scares you like this, how can you not be afraid of this military division? What makes this army even more afraid is that the Song barbarians have all hit the door, and we are still arguing and quarreling here! It's like a group of resentful women competing for favor! Isn't this a reckoning of kindred? Ten outstretched fingers are no match for the enemy's five pinched fingers! What's more, is Song Manzi really weaker than us? ”

"At this time, we must quickly decide who is the leader of our alliance of the righteous men of the ten states! Crowned as the overlord! Mu Chang's words were loud and clear.

"That's right! I'm annoyed when I quarrel and quarrel! Feng Changqi was overjoyed, it turned out that his military advisor had not become stupid, but there were so many bends in the stomachs of these literati, and they could be said to be alive when they died.

"Humph! What you say is a fart! That's easy to say! But how? Although Meng Hanyang did not agree immediately, out of caution, he already had a certain intention of agreeing.

"Don't talk so much nonsense! We will follow the regulations passed down from generation to generation by Anhua people, I Feng Changqi, you Meng Hanyang, fair duel! The winner takes all! The loser is the loser! Feng Changqi looked at Meng Hanyang and said with a proud face.

Hearing this, Meng Hanyang did not immediately agree, but a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.

It is necessary to know that Meng Hanyang is not a traditional barbarian, as early as the time of Song Taizu, Anhua Man has been attached to the Northern Song Dynasty, in the time of Song Taizong, the then Anhua Sanzhou co-owner also personally went to Bianliang City to visit Song Taizong. Although Anhuaman is called Man, it is called Qianman in the official correspondence documents of Guangnan West Road.

Shallow barbarism is like the distinction between the Liao people's Jurchens' birth Jurchens and mature Jurchens, and the shallow barbarians are barbarians with a high degree of sinicization, which is used to distinguish the barbarians who still live a barbaric life.

Therefore, although Meng Hanyang is an Anhua barbarian, he does not drink blood as ordinary people think, he likes to expose his chest full of chest hair, wear animal skin clothes, and open his mouth to grunt brute words.

In fact, Meng Hanyang's favorite thing to wear is the costumes of the Song Dynasty, and he has invited scholars to teach, and he speaks Song dialect neatly, but with a strong local accent. Even so, when Meng Hanyang arrived in the Han town on Guangnan West Road, as long as he did not reveal his identity or was broken by someone he knew, everyone would think that he was a native of Guangnan West Road.

And Feng Changqi is different, the reason why Feng Changqi deserves to be the assassin of Anhua Prefecture is not entirely because of his background, he once fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield for a period of time, plus the assistance of his wife's mother's family, so he sat in this position. In terms of force, although it is not possible to say that ten Meng Hanyang can't defeat Feng Changqi, but in a one-on-one situation, Meng Hanyang will be defeated.

Therefore, as soon as he heard this, Mu Chang knew that it was going to be bad, but fortunately, Meng Hanyang took care of his face and did not refuse, otherwise this matter would have been bad! There are people out there who will lose the competition, and those who promise are fools! However, although Meng Hanyang has not spoken yet, the surname of the person who agreed may not be high.

Mu Chang hurriedly made up for Feng Changqi's loss and said, "Ahem! Although the words of the lord are reasonable, both of them are highly respected among our southerners, and there are thousands of clansmen who have pinned their hopes on you. If either of the two hurts the other, it is not good, the two are naturally big shots, broad-minded, and will not resent each other for being injured in a fair duel, but the clansmen below do not have this heart. According to this military division, it is better to choose three warriors from the clan, how about two wins in three games? In this way, it can not only not hurt the harmony, but also achieve the goal of fairness! ”

Meng Hanyang's own force index is not high! The people under him are not low, Meng Hanyang thought of this, the color of struggle in his eyes was swept away, and he said happily: "Okay! ”

After a pause, Meng Hanyang looked at Feng Changqi with a provocative expression, and said, "Old Feng, how is it?" Dare to come? ”

Feng Changqi blushed and said, "Come on!" Those who are afraid are mountain turtles, and they will only shrink their heads when they encounter enemies! ”

Meng Hanyang was overjoyed and said, "Okay! It's better to hit it, just this afternoon! ”

Feng Changqi arrived at this time, could he still show weakness? Naturally, I agreed.

Just returned to the courtyard where he lived, Feng Changqi couldn't help but complain. "O military advisor! The Zhong'anhua Prefecture of Menghanyang has the support of a lot of Bondage Prefectures, and the three warriors they selected must be more powerful than our three warriors! I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with this time! Strategist, are you going to be safe? ”

Mu Chang smiled confidently and said, "But Er'er, the lord comes here, and this military division will tell you about Tian Ji horse racing!" ”

…………

In the courtyard, Zhao Yu personally taught the martial arts of the hundred palace guards, which was also a way for Zhao Yu to cultivate loyalty. Moreover, the palace guards are also half of Zhao Yu's students, and Zhao Yu will ask someone to teach the palace guards to know words, and then teach them some military books himself. In this recruitment, Zhao Yu is ready to place all the palace guards in the army, and he doesn't need to have a high official position, even if it is an escort, it is enough.

Others control the military power by controlling the leading generals at the top level, while Zhao Yu pays attention to the control of the grassroots. In this way, even if Song Renzong wanted to seize military power, it would not be of much use, unless all the junior officers were replaced. But in this case, what is the difference between disbanding an army and disbanding it?

"Lord Wang!"

"Huh?" Zhao Yu turned his head to look over and saw that it was Du Xiansheng standing outside the courtyard gate.

Zhao Yu motioned for Zhao Yingwu to take over and lead the palace guards to practice martial arts, then turned to look at Du Xiansheng and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Xiansheng had a little panic on his face, and said: "Just now Zhang Dujian sent an urgent report, Anhuaman is already ready to fight for the alliance tomorrow, and elect Feng Changqi, the assassin of Anhua Prefecture, as the leader and overlord of the alliance!" ”

Zhao Yu was taken aback and said, "How can this be? Wait, go into the study and say! ”

When he arrived in the study, Du Xiansheng explained: "According to the battle report sent by the fine worker, just three days ago, Feng Changqi and Meng Hanyang decided to cut through the chaos quickly, and the two sides held a competition to decide the ownership of the alliance leader. Meng Hanyang and Feng Changqi each selected three warriors from their headquarters to compete one-on-one at the foot of White Horse Mountain, winning two out of three games. Feng Changqi used the method of Tian Ji horse racing, using the upper warriors of the lower warriors against Meng Hanyang, and then the middle warriors against Meng Hanyang, and the middle warriors against the lower warriors of Meng Hanyang, first defeated and then won twice. ”

Zhao Yu frowned and walked around the room a few times, and said, "I didn't expect this Anhua man to be so difficult, this king was already afraid of stimulating them, so he only brought a battalion of soldiers and horses." I didn't expect that in the end, there was no way to avoid this from happening! ”

However, Zhao Yu did not sink into depression for too long, and those who achieve great things must have the courage to meet failure. "There must be something else going on! But where is An Huaman going to attack? ”

Du Xiansheng was a little surprised, nodded and said, "The prince is wise!" After making a detailed report, it is reported that after Anhuaman is ready to make a bloody alliance on White Horse Mountain, he will take Huaiyuan Village and take Yizhou directly! ”

Zhao Yu touched his chin and said, "This matter is a trouble!" You immediately find Counselor Feng, Meng Zhizhou, Zhang Dujian, Meng Inspector, and Deputy Envoy Peng! By the way, where is Mr. Gongsun now? ”

After Gongsun Xuanxu entered Jinghu, he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and Zhao Yu had to leave Gongsun Xuanxu in Changsha to keep his order, and only now did he send a letter to report, the illness has gone, and now he is speeding up his journey south to Guangnan West Road.

Du Xiansheng shook his head and said, "I haven't received any new news yet, but I don't think it will be there soon." After all, Mr. Gongsun is recovering from a serious illness, and he is too busy on the road, so he is afraid that he will hurt his body, and he will only be able to enter Guangnan West Road for fifteen days at the earliest! ”

Zhao Yu nodded helplessly, without Gongsun Xuanxu by his side, Zhao Yu felt unaccustomed to it, and when he usually discussed military affairs, he didn't even have anyone to discuss.

Du Xiansheng said: "Lord Wang, if there is nothing else, the lower official will go down and ask the soldiers to inform Counselor Feng that they are coming!" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!" ”

Zhao Yu didn't wait too long, Yizhou Zhizhou Meng Fang, Yizhou Border Soldiers and Horses Supervisor Zhang Hanyang, Transit Department Counselor Feng Shenji, Yizhou Border Inspection Envoy Meng Chong, and Peng Rui, Deputy Commander of the First Battalion of the Forbidden Army on the West Road to Guangnan.

Because Yang Wenguang was in charge of recruiting troops, he did not accompany Zhao Yu to Yizhou, so the first battalion of the Guangzhou Forbidden Army is now temporarily in charge of his deputy Peng Rui. This is also the reason why Zhao Yu only summoned his deputy, but did not summon Yang Wenguang.

A few people sat down, and the affairs of the soldiers naturally could not be discussed slowly and smoothly in the usual officialdom methods. Zhao Yu got straight to the point and said: "If you want to come to Anhua Man's middle and lower states to compete for the victory and defeat, this king doesn't need to say much, I think everyone here already knows the reason and process, and this king won't say anything about it!" Now that Anhuaman is ready to take Huaiyuan Village after the blood alliance, what do you think, just speak out, don't be guilty of words! ”

Peng Rui was really not polite, as soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, he had already opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, what is this!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Please give the order of the prince, and the last general will bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Huaiyuan Village, and dare not say that he will break the barbarians with one hundred, but I hope to trace back the ancestor Zhang patrolling the city! ”

Zhang Xun is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, defending the city with thousands of people, defeating the enemy many times, and at the most powerful time, more than 100,000 people besieged Suiyang, which was only 3,000, and was a famous general in history.

However, Zhao Yu did not agree, shook his head and said: "There are not many soldiers and horses available now, and they should be used in critical places, and they can't be used casually!" ”

Du Xiansheng hesitated and said, "There are not many troops stationed in Huaiyuan Village at present, right?" ”

Zhang Hanyang glanced at Du Xiansheng, and did not ignore the other party because the other party was just a non-grade Guan Gou business, pondered, and said: "Originally, there were three hundred people stationed, but because the prince had ordered to recruit troops before, he sent a batch of money and grain, and according to the latest documents, it is estimated that about 100 villagers have been recruited. ”

After a pause, Zhang Hanyang said again: "Lord Wang, in fact, there are still two soldiers and horses in Yizhou that can be used!" ”

Zhao Yu's heart moved, and asked, "Do you want to say Fanzhou and Hot Spring State?" ”

Fanzhou and Hot Springs are the fetters in Yizhou that are still loyal to the Song army.

Meng Fang frowned, and interjected: "Hot Spring Prefecture is better, in the southeast of Longshui City, there is no threat from Anhuaman, and it is probably able to send more troops, and it is estimated that it can send five hundred soldiers." But Fanzhou is different, Fanzhou is located between Longshui City and Huaiyuan Village, they need to guard against Huaiyuan Village after it is breached, and they must have enough troops to protect their cottage, which is estimated to be able to send 100 troops! ”

After a pause, Meng Fang said again: "The barbarians are profitable and untrustworthy, although it is said that Fanzhou and Hot Spring Prefecture are still loyal to my Great Song Dynasty, but who knows if they have a secret relationship with Anhuaman?" If there really is, we will send these two soldiers over, not to support Huaiyuan Village, but to lure wolves into the house! ”

Peng Rui agreed. "Barbarians! And there is no difference between it! At most, it's just a human-like **, and you have to be Han to fight! ”

Meng Chong said: "A few people are too extreme, in fact, barbarians are still people, but they are just barbaric!" ”

After a pause, Meng Chong said again: "But at this time, we really shouldn't trust the barbarians too much. ”

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Hanyang and asked, "What is Zhang Dujian's opinion on this?" ”

Zhang Hanyang hesitated and said: "There is a word, the last general doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Zhao Yu said: "There is nothing to say and not to say, this king has already said it just now, don't be guilty of words!" What do you think, just say it! ”

Zhang Hanyang said: "How about giving up Huaiyuan Village? ”

As soon as Zhang Hanyang's words came out, he felt that he was not shocking and endless.

Everyone present was stunned by Zhang Hanyang's words, Meng Fang originally picked up the teacup, but now the tea in the teacup is flowing on the table, and they are still unaware. (To be continued.) )
